Breast Reduction & Lift
Aesthetic sense and surgical skill matter, and so does healthy blood circulation after surgery. SVF is grafted during the procedure, so you can feel confident even after surgery.
Breast Reduction & Lift
It relieves the weight and sagging of large breasts, and takes care of blood circulation after surgery as well.
When the breasts are large and heavy, the load falls on the shoulders, neck and back and leads to pain, and skin conditions such as eczema can develop where the skin folds over.
Once the breasts are reduced, the remaining tissue and skin have to be repositioned for the shape to hold. That is why reduction of the breast tissue and the lift that raises sagging breasts are designed together.
Breast Reduction & Lift is the signature surgery of Dr. Yoosuk Chung, Chief Director. It is performed on the basis of 32 years of experience in breast and body contouring surgery as a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Healthy blood circulation after surgery. TheLINE grafts SVF during surgery and performs blood circulation improvement therapy together, supporting recovery and regeneration.
TheLINE Safety Protocol
Breast Reduction & Lift involves a wide incision area, so recovery and circulation shape the result. TheLINE performs SVF grafting, blood circulation improvement therapy and tension-free suturing together.
Because the incision area is wide, inflammation and infection can occur. SVF regenerates cells and forms and connects new blood vessels. TheLINE grafts SVF along with the surgery to support circulation and recovery, and to lower the possibility of necrosis, scar tissue and inflammation.
The biggest cause of side effects is poor blood circulation, and when circulation is not smooth it can lead to tissue necrosis. TheLINE performs blood circulation improvement therapy during surgery to support faster recovery and to prevent scarring and necrosis.
Scars and scar tissue can remain along the incision line. This method closes the tissue layer by layer so that no tension is placed on the skin, reducing the pulling force on the sutured area and easing the burden of scarring.
Recommendation Target
The deciding factor is the discomfort you experience day to day, rather than size alone.
Own weight
When the breasts sag severely because they cannot support their own weight. If the nipples sit below the inframammary fold once the bra is removed, it is worth checking.
Neck · back pain
When neck and back pain persists, or conditions such as eczema keep returning where the skin folds under the breasts.
Clothing choices
When attention from others limits your clothing choices and causes psychological stress.
Breast Ptosis Self Check
The degree of sagging can be estimated from the position of the nipple relative to the inframammary fold.
The nipples are positioned 4-5cm above the inframammary fold.
The nipples are level with the inframammary fold or have dropped within 1cm below it.
The top of the nipple is level with the inframammary fold, or the nipple has dropped 1-3cm below it.
The nipples point downward and sit more than 3cm below the inframammary fold.
The breast as a whole has dropped below the inframammary fold.
Breast Reduction & Lift Incision
The incision method varies with breast size and the degree of sagging.
This method leaves a scar only around the areola. It suits breasts that are moderately sized and only mildly sagging, but the amount of reduction it can achieve is limited. It leaves the least scarring of the three methods, takes the shortest operation time, and breastfeeding is possible after surgery.
The most commonly performed method, leaving a straight scar around the areola and extending downward from it. It suits moderate breast reduction, leaves less scarring than the inverted-T incision, preserves nipple sensation, and breastfeeding remains possible.
An incision shaped like an anchor around and below the areola, suited to breasts that are large and severely sagging. It allows the greatest volume reduction and improves the elasticity of sagging skin, but the incision is longer and a scar may remain.
